Music is great—but when you can enjoy it for a great cause, it’s even better! Hopeless Records, home to Stork Music favorites like All Time Low, Yellowcard, We Are The In Crowd and The Used, is releasing their 11th Take Action Compilation through Sub City. In an effort to engage the music community in social causes, Hopeless Records started the Sub City concept in 1999 and has since raised over two million dollars for over 50 non-profit organizations.

Take Action Volume 11 is filled with unreleased, exclusive tracks and covers. From The Used to Plug in Stereo, the compilation is as varied as Jack In The Box’s menu (weird chicken teriyaki and churros?). With so many songs on the album, it’s easy to find something for everyone. If you are a fan of more acoustic tunes, All Time Low, Never Shout Never and Mayday Parade offer options.

‘I Hope You Know’ by Plug In Stereo, featuring Tay Jardin from We Are The In Crowd is an happy, sing-along, painfully catchy track that will have you hitting repeat. Similar to ‘I Hope You Know’ is ‘Carelessly’ by The Scene Aesthetic.

If you are looking for something a little less poppy and indie coffee shop sounding, ‘London Is Burning’ by Itch is angsty, yet still catchy.

Glass Cloud’s cover of ‘Everybody Wants To Rule The World’ starts as a fresh cover of the classic, and then transforms into a crashing, almost unrecognizable cover—but a great one if you’re a fan of metalcore.

Take Action has something for everyone—pick up a copy on January 8th, enjoy some great music and support an amazing cause!

After parting ways with Interscope Records, All Time Low is returning to Hopeless and releasing a new album this fall! We couldn’t be more excited to know that some good old Blink 182, Simple Plan -esque punk pop will be here for our listening pleasure. You can preorder the album, but for now enjoy the track list and let your imagination speculate what they’ll sound like!

Go Radio is hitting the road again! After their last tour with Every Avenue and Yellowcard (which was AWESOME), Go Radio is headlining a tour with label mates Tonight Alive and other friends in There for Tomorrow, Tyler Carter, Simple as Surgery and Ivory Lights for a handful of dates.

Reviews have been singing praise of All Time Low’s newfound maturity on Dirty Work—although nothing less can be expected with the transition from small stage supporting acts to sold-out, continent crossing superstars. The new record is easily more matured, the quartet having come a long way since their high-school Blink 182 -esque roots.

Many disgruntled fans call the band “sellouts,” upset for some reason All Time Low is gaining the recognition it deserves and saying “It’s not the same All Time Low I used to love!” Teenage girls are such a touchy fan base. Lyrically and technically, the band has evolved into a seasoned group of musicians, unrivaled in originality. The sophisticated lyricism in tracks like ‘Heroes’ and ‘Under a Paper Moon,’ may cease some of the sing along value for a large number of younger fans, rendering ‘convoluted disillusion’ meaningless and confusing, although it is refreshing for catchy songs to actually have substance.

Dirty Work is not solely an accumulation of grown up, complicated verses because of the handful of upbeat, catchy tunes sure to appease the teenage fans looking to dance. Tracks like ‘That Girl,’ ‘Bad Enough for You,’ ‘Just The Way I’m Not,’ and ‘I Feel Like Dancin’ are appealing to fans looking for sing-along, booty-bumping tunes. Containing ingenious choruses and sing-along worthy taglines, the selection satisfies the fun requirement of an All Time Low record.

Synonymous to ‘All Time Low ballad’ is ‘Remembering Sunday.’ A new track brings the heartfelt, longing pangs to the record—’A Daydream Away.’ Surely to become a crowd favorite, the image of frontman Alex Gaskarth strumming an acoustic guitar and belting the melodies with the lights dimmed is almost inevitable. Just another reason for girls to swoon and wish they were ‘That Girl.’

A nod to their pop-punk roots, sounding a bit like something Blink 182 would produce is ‘Heroes,’ with eccentric and perfectly played drumming. Seemingly another attribution is the titling of ‘My Only One,’ reminiscent of Yellowcard’s (Dirty Work tour mates) ‘Only One.’ The harmonizing and melodies of Dirty Work seem to be under-appreciated, but should be praised at the forefront.

With possible allusions to other inspirations, ‘Just The Way I’m Not’ seems like Bruno Mars’ untold story. What happens when the girl you love just the way she is doesn’t love you back? All Time Low tells you.

A solid record, packed with songs all destined for gold is a brilliant addition to All Time Low’s repertoire. Dirty Work was destined and deserving of their iTunes number one spot. The reaction from the quartet only made Dirty Work more qualified—humble and thankful, each of the band members took to Twitter to express their gratitude, showcasing the stand-up qualities of All Time Low. It is clearly evident the band cares about their fans, and is truly doing something they love.
